Expressive Arts Therapy is a multi-modal approach to healing, self-actualization, social healing and collaboration. It incorporates a combination of Art, Music, Movement, Writing to help in a multitude of areas, personally, socially and globally. In my Expressive Arts Training I also combine SandTray World Play Therapy, and MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Inventory) training.

Each weekend will be a balanced combination of didactic information combined with experiential exercises designed to put into practice the information for that module. Exercises will revolve around how the arts create healing for the body, mind, emotions and Soul. Additionally we will look at how the arts can be used with various populations in different venues.

Weekends will be held in Carlsbad Calif. At the Live Your Art Studio on Saturdays and Sundays 9-5PM. We will meet one weekend per month for 12 months.
